    (BRUSSELS) – The European Union imposed new sanctions on Iran Monday with a focus on the brutal repression of protests and human rights, as well as its delivery of drones to Russia for its war against Ukraine.

    The EU Council has added 20 individuals and one entity to the list of those subject to restrictive measures in the context of the existing Iran human rights sanctions regime. This is in view of their role in the violent response to the recent demonstrations in Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini.

    The Council also added four individuals and four entities to the list of those subject to restrictive measures for undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. This is in view of their role in the development and delivery of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) used by Russia in its war against Ukraine. The Council has also signalled its intention to impose restrictive measures against a further entity on the same grounds.

    EU restrictive measures comprise an asset freeze, a travel ban to the EU and a prohibition to make funds or economic resources available to those listed.

    The designations follow earlier Council actions on 17 October, 20 October and 14 November.

    The relevant legal acts, including the names of the individuals and entities listed today, have been published in the Official Journal of the EU.
